In another thread divine1966 brought up the Five Love Languages.

I would be very interested to hear thoughts on how these work in practice.

Suppose, for example, that your love language is not your partner’s.

Would you use their love language, or yours?

And must you just accept that you are not going to be loved in the way that you want and perhaps even yearn to be loved?

Or should your partner love you in the way that you want and yearn to be loved?

Thoughts will be welcome and appreciated!
